Do I cut droopy flowers?
So I am a SUPER newbie to orchids! I got my orchid about 3 weeks ago and the florist gave me instructions for watering every 10 days. I did this and some new buds bloomed, but in the past 2 days, 2 flowers have wilted. After reading many threads, I realized my plant was very dry, as the leaves seemed dry and droopy and one of them was cracked/split down the middle. I have rehydrated the plant and am going to monitor it to probably water every 7 days instead of 10, but what do I do about the flowers that have already wilted? Do I cut them off so I have the remaining beautiful blossoms and buds? Also, how long will it take my leaves to recover and get back to healthy green?
Thanks!!
